I'm considering Heavy Metal but don't know if my eyes are good enough to shoot it as irons so currently I'm signed up as Tac ops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamspartacus Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I just signed up for the match in heavy metal and I talked three of my friends into it as well. We just need a couple more to have the division recognized, surely there are a few brave souls ready to take up the challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneRanger Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 How many Heavies do you need now ? What are the rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamspartacus Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Looking at my match management page on practiscore it shows there are 6 of us now including myself. There may be one more that I'm not aware of amongst the ROs because they don't appeae to be listed on there. The rules for heavy are 10 round .45, pump 12 gauge, and a .308 rifle with 1x sight or irons and 20 round mags. The 1x on the rifle is the biggest stumbling block for most people as I've talked to 3 more shooters who would be doing heavy at this match if a variable power optic was allowed on the rifle.

PatriotMRD Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 According to the match breakdown you have 7. You only need 3 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowsure Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I'm in the heavy mix this year. I'm older (read eyes aren't what they used to be) and slower, but I guess shooting Heavy at BRM3G is a bucket list item I can cross off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackson923 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I'll probably change to Heavy as I'm sure my pal Chris Wiesemann will be working the match as an RO and will be shooting Heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamspartacus Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I just looked at the match management page and it shows we are up to 8 heavy metal shooters. We need 2 more, who is going to take on the challenge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRider Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I signed up for Heavy Metal yesterday, so I was #8. I hope that we can get enough to make the division. Hurley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is usually determined when Andy makes the stages descriptions available (he's good about doing that a month or more prior to the match). Last year the shotgun was not slung, but in previous years, Yes, your scattegun needed a sling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right about that....I am either getting old or confusing too many Blue Ridge matches....(my money is on the former, can't have "too many" Blue Ridge matches!!)

LoneRanger Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Just got my sponsor stuff together, sending out this week. This will be my first Blue Ridge Match. I will be shooting Heavy Metal. Should have enough Heavy shooters now? Hope weather will be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFH Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 Stages have been posted for the 2017 BRM3G presented by Doublestar at BRM3G.com! Since this is the 10th year of the match, we are bringing back some features of past stages, even harkening back to our first year in Virginia. There are also some new ideas we’re going to see if you like. We currently have 12 folks in Heavy Metal! Good job guys. Join us at Rockcastle Shooting Center October 19th to 21st to send some rounds downrange! http://brm3g.com/ https://star15.com/ https://www.rockcastleshootingcenter.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneRanger Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Question, In Heavy Metal scoring is it 1 on paper with pistol and rifle or 2 ? Might need more pistol mags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
